Beep Test

05-31-13

Today, we did our final beep test of the year for fitness. When I started the beep test, I felt pretty nervous, because I wasn't sure if I could beat my last beep test score (8.2). Fortunately, I was lucky enough to get past the beep test mark prior to the one I got today. In all honesty, I think I could have reached a higher level if I had eaten. So I was slightly disappointed that I only got up to 8.3, however, there's always next year! Although my beep test mark improved slightly, everything else that I did improved by a significant amount.

Before:

Body Press (w/o stopping): 7
Body Bridge: 1:05
T-Test: 14 seconds
Sit & Reach (level): 1
Board (touches/30 secs): 15

Today:

Body Press (w/o stopping): 10
Body Bridge: 1:14
T-Test: 12.2 seconds
Sit & Reach (level): 2
Board (touches/30 secs): 11

Also, here's a picture of Nadia & I doing the body presses/push ups.

Hide & Seek Tag

05-29-13

A week ago or two, we played 'Hide & Seek Tag' in PE. In my opinion, this is one of the most fun things we've done all year. I loved how I got this rush of energy, and I felt determined to not get caught. Everyone else seemed to enjoy the game as well- it was definitely fun. I almost always hid deep in the forest so that no one would be able to catch me since there were a lot of thorns and so forth. Plus, it was easy for me to get by since I'm pretty quick on my feet and I'm used to running through forests. In the end, I got caught, but I still have tons of fun. I hope we can play it again soon since it's one of my favourite activities!

Extended Community Run

05-07-13For fitness today, we had to do the extended community run- which is one of my favourite things to do on fitness days. As usual, during the beginning, I didn't run much. I alternated from jogging to walking until I got up the hill. After the hill, I jogged the rest of the run, and only stopped three or four times! I was pretty happy about that because I didn't eat lunch and I didn't think I'd be able to do it. However, I think that motivated me to work harder because I was scared that I would come in last. Surprisingly, I wasn't as tired as I was when we did the extended community run for the first time. Although my legs felt like jello (and they still do..), I really enjoyed it! It was nice to go for a run on a sunny day while the wind was blowing~
